As Rotarians we can do great things,
as Rotary clubs we can do greater
things, and as groups of Rotary clubs
we can do even greater things. That
was the goal of the 33 Western
Sydney clubs the previous District of
9690 had the year before the three
Sydney districts merged into two
new districts.
The 33 clubs put their minds
together and decided to raise funds
to assist with upgrading areas of
the Adolescent Medical Unit – the
“Rotary Wing” – of the Children’s
Hospital Westmead, which the NSW
districts provided over $3 million to
build in 1985.
Building on
Rotary’s past successes
The target was $200,000 to
refurbish the Adolescent Group
Room, upgrade the Rotary branding
within the unit and landscape a
courtyard for outdoor use by the
young patients.
Fundraising totalled $240,000 and
stage 1 of the work, the Group Room,
has now been completed, with the next
two stages on the drawing board.
The Group Room is an area in
which adolescents can be creative
and occupied mentally and physically
while undergoing treatment in
hospital. It is a place where they can
be themselves, relate to and support
each other as equals outside of the
medical environment, relax and have
fun while they adjust and learn to
accept their situation.
The recreational areas of the
Adolescent Medical Unit were
not a priority from the hospital’s
perspective. As they are already
established and operational they
often get overlooked for more urgent
and pressing needs. This is where
Rotary has made a difference and
built on one of its past successes.
As an added bonus the Rotary
Club of The Hills–Kellyville provided
an extra $10,000 to fit out an
additional Adolescent
Consultancy Room.
